Sesame oil in this makes a unique flavor and it’s simple and quick to prepare, served with Chinese dish. Leftovers are yummy served as a cold rice salad.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Make omelet with egg; cut in strips and set aside.
  2. 2
    Heat oil in wok; add the sesame oil and garlic and stir quickly. Do not let it brown.
  3. 3
    Add the rice, and stir in the onions, shrimps, and omelet.
  4. 4
    Add the Soya sauce, stirring all the time.
  5. 5
    Can be made ahead and reheated in the microwave for a few minutes. Really nice with Chinese as a change from serving with noodles.
  6. 6
    Great as a leftover--either reheated or served cold. It goes down well with barbecues too.

Great flavor for a such a quick recipe to throw together. I served it with Sticky Chicken by Lavender Lynn and it was a terrific combination. Due to the chicken, I didn't use the shrimp, but will in future versions of the recipe. Thanks Joy for a wonderful rice dish!

    Made the rice to serve with Salt-And-Pepper Shrimp and it was very good. The soy sauce was a little strong for me but after adding a bit more white rice it was quite tasty after that. Made for the Chinese-Vietnamese New Year Tag Game.

    This makes a lovely side dish to any Chinese meal. The sesame oil adds such a nice touch. I didn't add the prawns because I like my rice to be plain or rather plain when served with a lovely vegetable or meat dish.

    What a great basic fried rice. This was supposed to be for dinner with DD so I didn't use shrimp. I used brown rice and added mushrooms and peas. The possibilities for variations is endless.
